Zat'nik'tel and the Chicken Wing

[sgc]

Has anybody ever noticed that a zat looks a lot like a chicken wing?

Always thought it tried to look more like a symbiont.

I wonder if this was where the idea came from...

If you press on a specific muscle on a chicken wing, it flips up, just like a zat. This is the same place where you press on a zat to make it flip up IIRC.

Just makes you wonder if it was intentional, or if anyone else had noticed this.

I once got inspiration for a fighter plane design from a chicken bone...

Always thought it tried to look more like a symbiont.

Or a snake.

Phallus!

I thought snake too, but I think you've convinced me. The writers were sitting around, scarfing down chicken wings and one said, "You know, these would make great weapons. I'll call it a chicken cannon."

"That's a stupid name," said another.

Then the fight started and they were all thrown out of the restaurant.

Phallus!

Didn't we already have that conversation? Except that as I recall, we were using Latin rather than Greek.

[RoK]

That is kind of weird. I never really thought about that. I wonder if the word, Zat'nik'tel, really means, chicken wing.

i thought it looked like a reared up cobra when open.

[QueteshRuled]

and lordofseas, Canada is really awesome isn't it?

[garhkal]

i thought it looked like a reared up cobra when open.

Especially with it's 'fanned head'..

Why did the chicken crossed the road?
To avoid the Zat shot .
